Re: How about trading for OJ Mayo?

They should be looking to trade him.

Dunleavy is a better defender than Mayo. Mayo is too small to defend NBA wings. Everybody goes bananas on him.

I think he's playing off the bench because he was late to the pre-game shoot-out - tv commentators said he and Randolph arrived late but they didn't say they were benched because of that - but if he's playing 2 guard in a team with a normal PG, that's the best role for him, a combo-guard to bring off the bench.

Re: How about trading for OJ Mayo?

Of course he would. So would every PG that got to throw it to MJ and Kobe on 80% of their teams possessions.

Rajon Rondo wouldn't.

If he could play PG, Mayo would become a plus defender + a plus rebounder. That and his good scoring and shooting would make him a much more interesting player. I'd like to see him in Atlanta, playing alongside Joe Johnson.

Honestly, those numbers tell me that he's been a LOT better than any player on our team not named Granger over the past two-plus seasons. Not only is he going to get better just this season, but I think career averages of about 18/3/3 on 47%/38%/85% is very realistic. How could you NOT want that from a guy who's been a complete team player since he entered the league and is bound to get better? I'm not saying he's ever going to be an All Star or an undisputed first option, but he has as much potential as any third year player in the entire league.

I'd trade anyone on our squad not named Collison or Hibbert to get Mayo. Granger is debatable (my only problem with Danny is his shot selection and his inability to consistently create off of the dribble).
